Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

An equation has no solution algebraically when the left side of the equation does not equal the right side for any possible value of the variable(s) involved. In other words, there is no value that can be substituted for the variable that will make the equation true. This can happen when the variable cancels out on both sides of the equation, resulting in an inconsistency. In this case, the equation is said to have no solution.
